Spain: Choreographer talks about ‘Zorra’
The choreographer of Zorra talked in an exclusive interview for El Español about how she met Nebulossa’s vocalist, Mery Bas, and the choreography for Zorra.
Choreographer Vero Mejía met Mery in 2022 while working on her Una Voce per San Marino 2023 entry. Before working for Benidorm Fest, she made choreographies for Mónica Naranjo and Nicky Jam.
She helped her improve the staging and continue their collaboration for Benidorm Fest 2024. Vero Mejía will continue working on the choreography for Eurovision 2024 in Malmö.
When Vero Mejía met Mery Bas, she did not know that the choreography they were working on was planned for the San Marinese national final. Unfortunately, Nebulossa did not advance in the selection process. However, they continued working together. According to Mejía, she listened to the demo version of ‘Zorra’ in advance in her Dance Center in Valencia, Spain. She loved the unconventional message of the song and saw this opportunity as a gift.
When I make a choreography, I take inspiration from the topic and the singer´s personality. The way they move, they talk to me and look at me, without even knowing suggests the moves that will fit the song and that’s exactly what happened with ‘Zorra’.

Zorra’s choreography includes natural features to keep the singer’s personality in the song. Many of the dance steps for the dancers are based on what Mery does. Vero Mejía is satisfied with many beautiful and iconic moments of the song such as the moment where the dancers slap their butts as well as the hand gesture in the “cara de postal” verse.
During their work, Vero Mejía established a personal connection with Mery Bas.
I instantly get her essence. She is very close, very sweet, and sensual. Just with her look and the way she is. For me, it was beautiful and shocking at the same time a song so strong with such a sensual and sweet personality.
